Yelloween Scarecrow Project 2012

The Yelloween Scarecrow Project was a terrific success in 2011 due in part to wide and varied participation. We hope for more “Scare” this year so we’ll have even more to “Crow” about. As you know, we utilize the flag pockets in the sidewalk for poles to support scarecrow frames on which an Artist/Student/Craftee type can create a scarecrow. They go up immediately following October Street Fair and remain through Yelloween. The Yelloween Scarecrow Project is an opportunity for regional and national press.

If your business wishes to participate:

You'll need a structure on which your sculpture can be built. You may build your own or purchase one for $20. If you are a non-profit, Jailhouse Suites will donate a frame to you at no cost. The frame inserts in the flag pockets in the sidewalk. If you don't have a flag pocket (these are the holes in the sidewalk the Lion's Clubs sticks flags in on the 4th) contact Bob Swaney and we’ll figure it out. You'll need someone to make your scarecrow and supplies for him or her to use.

If you wish: Yellow Springs Kids Playhouse and Mills Lawn School are all ready to build a Scarecrow for you. A donation to one of these organizations is appropriate for supplies.

If you are an Artist/Student/Craftee type: Approach a business with your idea! They will probably love the fact that someone would like to create a scarecrow on their behalf.

Be The Peace at Art Park

How would you like to participate, right here in Yellow Springs, in one of the largest globally-synchronized meditation and prayer events in history?

On September 21, 2012, the 30th Annual International Day of Peace, hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals worldwide will join together as ONE for BeThePeace. BeThePeace will feature public meditation/prayer events in hundreds of cities worldwide, starting at 6pm in local time zones, and creating a profound planetary wave of peace.

As part of this global event, and in collaboration with the Yellow Springs Experience Wellness Fair Weekend, local meditation teachers Denise Runyon, Tom Malcolm and Lynda Terry, will host a BeThePeace silent meditation at the Art Park, 100 Corry St., on Friday, September 21st, from 6-7pm.

The group silent meditation is free and open to all, and you don’t need to have formal meditation training or experience. All you need is an open heart, a longing for peace in our world, and a willingness to sit peacefully in silence with others. You can join in for a few minutes or the entire hour. Seating will be on the benches in the Art Park or on the ground. Feel free to bring a cushion or pillow if you like, or a lightweight folding chair, and dress comfortably for the weather (forecast is for 30% chance of rain and temps in 70s).

BeThePeace also will host three Global Attunements for Peace during the day when everyone can connect via telecast at the same time: 12am, 12noon, and 12 midnight EDT, creating three deep planetary pulses of peace. And throughout the day, people will be able to connect virtually via a Global Care Room, in which people can ‘see’ each other as points of light on a spinning Google Earth map, providing a stunning visual image of the global field forming in real time before your eyes.

A guided meditation recording, created especially for the daylong event by Yellow Springs resident Lynda Terry and her son, musician Nathan Veshecco, will be featured as part of the Global Care Room experience.

Artist Talk part of Art Heals

The Last Two Years of My Life: New Paintings by Glenn Owen
(presented by the Yellow Springs Arts Council)
Friday, September 21, 2012 (6-9pm)
YS Arts Council Gallery, 111 Corry Street, Yellow Springs

With over 30 one-man shows in his 56 years as an artist, Glenn Owen continues to surprise and stimulate. Owen, former YSHS art teacher, presents images that have been described as "fractal" and "psychedelic".

Glenn will give an Artist Talk about his artwork and its therapeutic benefits on Saturday, September 22 from 5:30-6pm as part of the Art Heals evening at the YSAC Community Gallery.

The inspiration for this body of work is related to his own personal wellness story. Born with a heart condition, Owen spent 73 years living life to the fullest before he found himself in cardiovascular turmoil. During a visit to the hospital after almost dying, the artist witnessed images of his own heart beating on a monitor screen. “It was a new visual experience for me to see internal landscapes I never knew existed,” confesses Owen. Inspired by his findings, Owen grabbed a pen and paper and started drawing. “This work is a continuation of that drawing.”

Join us for the Opening Reception on Friday, September 21 from 6-9pm. Barbara Leeds will be wooing us with classical music throughout the evening on the YSAC Community Gallery's outdoor patio! This will be a great evening to meet local artists and good friends.

Go to www.facebook.com/YellowSpringsArtsCouncil for more details. The YSAC Community Gallery is now open from Wednesday to Sunday (1-4pm), except during the third week of each month.
